Early talk on sex makes topic easier By Ruth Linton, P.H.N., B.A., Family Planning Nurse, Clinton Office, Huron County Health Unit Sex education is an odd business. We can tell our children how corn grows, how an engine runs or what makes it rain. Ilowever, when it comes to telling how the human body works and h� w life begihs many parents run into difficulty. We often think someone else could do it better because we are not sure of the words to use or feel that we might make a mistake. .If this is your feeling then you are not alone. Just remember perfec- tion isn't necessary in teaching about sex. 'l'here are few people who are experts in the field of sex education. People often think that sex education is something to he taught in the future, at adolescence of some other specific time. Parents envi- sion a one; session mother- daughter or father -son chat and the job is done. It doesn't happen like this.

The care children receive from birth by loving parents who feed, cuddle, pl- ay with and nurture them is sex education. This .shows children what love is and creates a capacity for them to go out to others with trust and affection. This is the basis for stable, happy relationships in years to come. Once a child begins to ques- tion body differences or ask questions on sexuality the parents should give honest answers geared to thechild's level of understanding. A small child's attention span is short, 30 seconds oy one estimation, so great detail is wasted. Be prepared to have the same questjons repeated. The child is confirming the original answer or may have forgotten what he was told. The parent by answering the questions honestly is, brick by brick, laying.a solid. foundation for the future. The child will know he can ask questions and by building on this solid foundation grow up with a warns, open attitude toward the parent. Ile will know that the parent is ap- proachable and will continue to discuss sexuality questions through adolescence with the same openess. There are parents who are concerned because their children don't ask questions. Children may be shy or don't know how to ask. They may have been told "stork" stories and don't have a basis on which to build further knowledge. Parents should take the opportunity to bring up the topic and let children know that it is all right to ask. Often a friend or relative who is pregnant can be of help. A mention O[ "aunty's tummy" and its signufIcanc. is .enough to let the child feel comfor- table and open the way to many questions.

EXETER Junk food will always be around Could a generation grow up without junk food? The people might be healthier, but it wouldn't seem natural. Fad foods are the stuff memories are made of. Some treats seem to have always been with us - the hot names were popular but disappeared after awhile - Majorette and Li'l Abner, for instance. There was an art to eating potato chips. Some people squeezed and rolled the bag before opening until every Odds 'n ends By Elaine Townshend dog, for example. It may have changed in size and fixings over the years, but basically a hot dog is still a hot dog. Popcorn has been smothered with salt, hot but- ter and caramel, but underneath it all remains the kernel. Crackerjack boxes still con- tain surprises - always at the bottom. Some fad foods were characteristic of the times. For people growing up in the thirties and forties, for in- stance, eating an ice cream cone was an event. Taffy pulls were exciting contests, and a single candy cane or licorice stick was a huge treat Then came the fifties and sixties, when "junk" food was more available. Potato chips were bought in nickel baast Some brand chip was finely crushed. Sometimes opening the bag was a challenge. French fries were covered with smooth fattening gravy. Suzy Q's - or' Curly Q's, as they were sometimes called - were thin french fries curled into interesting shapes. Some kids enjoyed sur- prises, especially if they were Miss Robin Christina Rader, Ottawa, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Coates, Mississauga, Miss Patricia Rader, and friend David Kirk, London, Mr. and M •s. Roy Rader and girls, St. Marys, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Rader and family, Zurich, Mr. Robert Rader and Miss Shellie Rader, Dashwood were Sunday visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Rader, Exeter. cheap. The "grab bag" was chewing to talk. Ideal for them. It usually con- sisted of stale candies, but the price was right. Some people recall treats that 1 haven't heard of - cherry coke, Kik Cola and Honey Sponge. My favourite luxury was the jaw breaker - a huge round hard wad of gum. It was probably my parents favourite too, because it kept me too busy Also, in my mind, 1 can vividly picture the small distinctive Coke bottle that was destined to become a col- lector's item. Many people claim the sun- dae of the fifties and sixties was enormous, but maybe it was like the fish that got away. Cheese seemed to be popular in the seventies - cheese balls, cheese puffs, cheesies. In the late seventies and early eighties, more people became nutrition conscious. Natural foods and foods that are good for us are "in". Nevertheless so-called "junk food" is stili around. Some futurists claim in a few years we won't eat food, but we'll pop a pill instead. My guess is one of thole pills will be labelled "junk food". Institute members look at controversial topics Women's Institute ( WI) members across the province are taking a look at some con- troversial issues this year. Women's rights, women's use and misuse of drugs and alcohol, and microtechnology's effect on women in the workplace and in the home, are only some of the suggested topics. These topics, prepared by provincial conveners and ex- ecutive members, are being sent to branch conveners in a factsheet to help them plan 1983-84 meetings. Each WI branch can decide which topics or sub -topics it is interested in developing. Co-ordinating this effortis Joyce Canning, former home economics supervisor for On - tario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF). Canning says her new post as OMAF's co-ordinator of rural women's groups strengthens the ministry's tie with the 86 -year-old WI. "The ministry has always held a close tie with the Women's Institute. But this is the first time the ministry has been involved in developing specific programming." The objectives of the WI, founded in 1897 by Erland Lee and Adelaide Hoodless, re- main unchanged. The WI en- courages sound homemaking skills, develops women's leadership skills, identifies problems and needs in the community, promotes resource material and develops happier, more useful citizens.
